Snow Proof Greenhouses

Why Choose a Snow Proof Greenhouse for Your Garden?

If you live in an area with harsh winters, strong winds, or heavy rain, a snow proof greenhouse is the best way to protect your plants and extend your gardening season. These greenhouses are built to withstand not only snow but also powerful wind and unpredictable weather across Europe, from the Nordic countries to the Alps. With more extreme weather across Europe – including storms, heavy rain, late frosts, and sudden temperature drops – investing in a strong and durable greenhouse has never been more critical. A snow proof greenhouse gives you peace of mind, knowing your plants are safe and your structure can handle almost anything the climate throws at it.

What Makes a Snow Proof Greenhouse Different?

Compared to regular greenhouses, snow proof greenhouses have a much higher snow and wind load capacity. Their reinforced structure ensures stability even under extreme weather conditions. You don’t have to worry when frost sets in, or strong winds sweep through your garden – your greenhouse stays secure.

How Strong Are These Greenhouses Really?

Our snow proof models feature heavy-duty aluminium frames and robust 4–6 mm polycarbonate panels. These materials provide excellent insulation and light transmission, without the fragility of glass. With snow load capacities up to 450 kg/m², these greenhouses are suitable for Scandinavia, Central Europe, and even the mountainous regions of Southern Europe.

Is Polycarbonate Better Than Glass in Snowy Conditions?

Yes. While glass greenhouses have timeless appeal, polycarbonate panels are significantly more impact-resistant. This means no shattered panes after a hailstorm or heavy snowfall. Polycarbonate also offers better insulation, which is essential when temperatures drop. Admittedly, the compact snow proof greenhouses may not be as romantic and classic as our elegant glass greenhouses or orangeries, but they are as effective when it comes to growth conditions, and they will be standing even after snow and hail.     

Want a Specific Look or Style?

You can choose from a variety of greenhouse designs. Prefer a warm, natural look? Try one of our wooden greenhouses. Looking for the best mix of strength and lightweight performance? Our polycarbonate greenhouses are ideal.

Can I Use a Snow Proof Greenhouse Year-Round?

Absolutely. These greenhouses work just like traditional models – only tougher. You can start seedlings in early spring, grow summer crops with confidence, and even extend the harvest into late autumn. The structure provides a stable, plant-friendly climate even during cold snaps.

Can I Use My Greenhouse for More Than Growing Plants?

Yes, and that’s one of the reasons many garden owners love our greenhouses. Add some tables & chairs, and you’ve got a warm, light-filled gazebo to enjoy a cup of tea or read a book, no matter the weather. The clear polycarbonate panels create a calm, inviting space even on grey days.

Do You Need Extra Storage or Shelter for Your Outdoor Space?

Pair your greenhouse with one of our elegant patio covers for sheltered sitting or storage areas. Or consider one of our spacious garden sheds to keep tools, furniture, bikes, or firewood protected all year.

What Smart Features Come with These Greenhouses?

Our snow proof greenhouses include ventilation windows to help you regulate temperature and humidity. Many models are also modular, so you can add extension units as your garden grows.

Who Should Choose a Snow Proof Greenhouse?

Anyone living in a region with wind, snow, or cold rain should consider a reinforced model. From Denmark to Germany, from Sweden to the French Alps – these greenhouses offer security, performance, and peace of mind.
